Good experience - Caesar clearly knows everything there is to know about the giant tortoises, birds and plant life on the land and was able to tell me a lot that I no idea about. Due to the time of year I was there, we only saw a few few tortoises however they were amazing to see roaming freely. I would recommend wearing trousers and good boots because there is a bit of walking involved through the forest.

Despite the tour guide... - Despite the tour guide English was limited, he was very professional and made a great effort to explain very detailed story about the giant turtles and formation and development of Lava tunnel during the trip. Enjoy seeing over dozen of giant turtles!

Lots of tortoises and knowledgeable guides! - Guides were very knowledgeable and kind! We learned a lot and saw a LOT of giant tortoises. Beautiful property as well. Definitely wear hiking shoes or quality tennis shoes. The walk is a little challenging.

Great family experience - Great tour and very knowledgeable staff. The owner Cesar was on site and provided a great tour of his property and showed us some enormous tortoise. The staff was very friendly to our family and the entire place felt very homie. The optional lunch I highly recommend to add to your experience since the food was very good. Highly recommended this tour in between other snorkeling to give a break from the water activities.

Enchantment - Besides the turtles, Caesar is one thing to the part. If I want information here. Like an enchantment by nature that is magical, incredible.

Galapagos Tortuga Tour - It is a primitive experience. The guide Cesar was very informative and even though it was just me on the tour very engaged. It was raining and still enjoyed the experience.

Prep for a walk - Overall, I think the tour was okay, but I would recommend preparing for a walk through the jungle; meaning you should wear long pants, long sleeves and use lots of bug spray.
